Overview
Brief Summary
This study is to help determine the most effective type or combination of treatments to offer patients seeking lung cancer screening who are smokers to help them reduce the number of cigarettes they smoke, or quit smoking. The investigators long term goal is to increase the benefits of lung cancer screening by providing a blue print of best practices for screening sites to deliver tobacco treatment to their patients who are smokers, in a way that does not add burden to screening site staff and increases the chances of patients quitting smoking.

Arms & Interventions
Motivational Interviewing( MI) (Yes vs. No)
Participants will receive two motivational informed cessation sessions; the first delivered face to faceor via telephone by the SC during the patient's initial lung cancer screening visit or during the shared decision making discussion or within about 1 week following their screening visit, and the second session delivered by telephone by the SC approximately 4 to 8 weeks after the first MI session.
Intervention: Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Motivational Interviewing( MI) (Yes vs. No)
Participants will receive two motivational informed cessation sessions; the first delivered face to faceor via telephone by the SC during the patient's initial lung cancer screening visit or during the shared decision making discussion or within about 1 week following their screening visit, and the second session delivered by telephone by the SC approximately 4 to 8 weeks after the first MI session.
Intervention: saliva sample
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) Patch (Yes vs. No)
Participants will receive 6 weeks of NRT patch with dosing dependent upon reported baseline cigarettes per day and written instructions to use the patch daily starting on date they mutually agreed upon with their site coordinator. Participants who smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes per day will receive 4-weeks of the 14mg patch (2 boxes), and 2-weeks of the 7mg patch (1 box). Those who smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day will receive 4-weeks of the 21mg patch (2 boxes) and 2-weeks of the 14mg patch (1 box). Participants will receive their study medications from their site coordinator on the day of their screening appointment or via mail from Arrowhead Promotion \& Fulfillment.

Participants who smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes per day will receive 4-weeks of the 14mg patch (2 boxes), and 2-weeks of the 7mg patch (1 box). Those who smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day will receive 4-weeks of the 21mg patch (2 boxes) and 2-weeks of the 14mg patch (1 box). Participants will receive their study medications from their site coordinator on the day of their screening appointment or via mail from Arrowhead Promotion \& Fulfillment.
Intervention: saliva sample
NRT Lozenge (Yes vs. No)
Participants will receive will receive 6 packs of NRT 2mg lozenge and written instructions to use the lozenge PRN to help manage acute nicotine withdrawal. Participants will be instructed to use the NRT lozenges no more than every 1-2 hours as needed. Participants will receive their study medications from their site coordinator on the day of their screening appointment or via mail from Arrowhead Promotion \& Fulfillment.

Message Framing (Gain vs. Loss)
Overall, a robust body of health communication literature demonstrates that gain-framed messages may be more effective than loss-framed or non-framed (neutral) messages for encouraging smoking cessation. In other words, quitting messages that promote smoking cessation are more persuasive if they emphasize the benefits of quitting (gain-framed) rather than the risks (loss-framed) of persistent smoking (25, 26). Included with the written communication of their LDCT-LCS results, participants will receive a printed individualized quitting message that emphasizes either the benefits of quitting (gain-framed) or the risks of continuing to smoke (loss-framed).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
number of patients who are tobacco abstinence
Time Frame: 6 months following study enrollment
biochemical verification of smoking abstinence will be conducted Consistent with Intent to Treat, unless self reported smoking abstinence is biochemically verified, (\<3 ng/ml for mailed salivary cotinine assay) for participants who fail to return the saliva sample, the cessation outcome will be considered non-abstinent.
